Thank you, Nathan.  I had forgotten about this technique, as I
used to use it in my early days with LP.  I stopped using it
because it is difficult to notate more complex stroke rhythms,
e.g.:

\improvisationOn
b16 b b b r b r b b b r8 b16 b r8
b16 b b b r b r b b b r4.
\improvisationOff

MIDI output isn't a consideration for me (at this time), but
point taken.

You're right though, for basic quarter-note strokes that don't
get transposed, it does solve the problem.  Thanks also for the
'comp' function, that's a convenient way to incorporate stroke
marks into a staff.

Jim
